It´s gr8 2C her again! But sorry I cant avoid saying that I cant figure out how come that she´s fit enough 2 throw parties, 2 go 2 cinemas, travel, perform at private gigs, do photoshoots, but she is so ill 2do something new 4 her fans who waited long years 4 a new album, whose promo was messed up and the tour had 2B cancelled. It would B nice if she realized that her fans adore her and would love 2C more of Cher.

So it’s all about you and what you want. You should be thankful that even after such a serious illness, at the age of 69 she is still prepared to go out and perform. Just because this was a private show, so what! You may not have been able to see it but I’m sure there will be many more you will!

Cher has given 1 private performance since she became ill in September. If you look hard enough at the pix I think you’ll see this was not a full-on show that she would do in concert; no elaborate sets, for starters & 1 hour vs. 90 mins – 2 hours. Because we are NOT her and because she doesn’t tell us everything, we can’t fully understand & appreciate the long, slow recovery process. She did 1 hourlong private performance and you’re ready to hang her for it because she’s not singing for you? Give her time. She’s expressed many, many times on Twitter how heartbroken she has been that she couldn’t perform & that she will ONLY go back on tour when she can sing & dance & everything else she — and we — demands she be able to do on stage on tour for 2 hours a night, 4 to 5 nights a week. As much as I want to see her perform again, I want her to take her time, heal fully so she is able to & doesn’t get sick again. Her health is far more important to me than a concert.

Never mind gearing up for a European and Australian tour. Let’s finish up what was cancelled here in the States first. Lots of disappointed fans when the D2K tour had to be scrubbed due to illness, but now that she’s back in shape, let’s give the fans at home the treat they deserve.

So glad Cher gave a wonderfully inspiring show. I agree, let’s see if she will return to her “homeland”, as Tina calls it, and gift us with the final leg of her D2Ktour. I know it was too long and too much for her, she became ill, was hospitalized, and needed to take off and rest. We are loyally waiting for her.

When Paulette was talking about a thrilling gig, I just though “Wow”. It would never occur to my mind that it would be a private show for a couple of chosen ones, in old ´Cher at the Colosseum´ costumes. So boring, sorry!

Well that is a surprise that your not happy! Why can’t you look at this as a good thing? The fact that she is now out and about, surely that is a good thing? Why would she have new outfits for one show? People complained last time she did a private show because she didn’t have new outfits, what’s the big deal!

I agree, Ant. It’s a private show for a private party. So what? She’s entitled. It was a good way for her to even just test the water to see if, indeed, she can perform. She’s still the process of rebuilding her strength enough to do 2 hours running around on stage 4 to 5 nights a week.

I’m so glad that Cher is back on the stage again. It’s a good idea that she doesn’t just rush in to a huge world tour, she needs to ease in to it. Some people (as usual) won’t be happy because they think Cher owes them and everything she does, has to be for them. Why people can’t look at this as small steps towards something bigger. We all love her (although some people have a very strange way of showing it) and should be grateful that firstly she is over the deadly illness and the fact that she still wants to get out there and perform.

You are a drama queen! Deadly illness etc. If U like what she does, that´s fine. I don´t, so take it! Why should she have new outfits? Because she is Cher and besides everybody does. Have you seen Gaga, Madonna, Perry to wear an outfit more than once during different occassions? Cher has worn these outfit for years, maybe I should buy her new once if she cant affort them.

A drama Queen, I don’t think so! She was seriously ill! I know you don’t like what she did, you never do! I don’t really care about Gaga or Madonna, that’s not who we are talking about. As a fan, I’m just happy she is out and performing!

No some people just don’t expect miracles from someone who has been seriously ill and is nearly 70 years old! Some people appreciate the work she has done and the fact she is still doing it. Do you really expect her just to jump in to a world tour!!!

Ant I agree 100% of what you said!!! Cause I’d say the exact same thing!! Cher means more to me then anyone could possibly imagine! When I listen to her music I get a feeling that I can’t describe! And I don’t get that feeling from no one else!!

Thanks Michael. I too love Cher and the most important thing is her health, if she hasn’t got that then she and us fans have nothing! I’m just so grateful that she still wants to be out there performing 🙂

Are you gonna fight again? People are angry because they waited 11 years for a new album. The album is great, but compared to other lady-singers, it flopped. Let´s be honest. Cher has been healthy for a while, but she does not move on. But maybe she has more surprises, who knows. I think that the problem is that she does not have anyone to kick her ass. It´s what she says – that she does not start working unless someone kicks her. And if she does not feel like doing other albums, or tour, that´s ok, she has every right to quit. But she should tell her fans. The problem is that the fans are not informed, they are just kept waiting and then they are angry and start fighting.

Does it really matter what others think of the album? Like you say it was a great, so how is that Cher’s fault? Yes, she should have pushed for better promotion, but we don’t know what goes on in the background and at the end of the day, it was a great album.

So regardless of this 11 year wait, we still ended up with a great album and tour, even if it was cut short, but that couldn’t be helped.

I’m sure she does have more surprises, but like most thinks we have to wait until we are suppose to know.

Just think what is was like before twitter, we found out things when we were meant to nowadays people just want to know everything and think it’s their right. Cher is always saying that she isn’t ready to go home and knit, so we just have to be patient.

I think there are no news. She said that the track would be recorded in London, so maybe she will visit London on her way back home and she will record the song. But it´s only a maybe.

And Ant, I have never said a word abou jumping into a world tour. My point was it would be nice if she did something that anyone could see, not only a couple of chosen ones. E.g. a new video, TV appearance, an anniversary show, whatever.

And I do compare Cher to other artists, yes. Because it was so nice to see her back in the 90s kick Madonna´s ass. The more sad it is to see that she is not relevant anymore. Cher has said that unless she is in showbusiness, no girls are gonna take her place, but, unfortunately, some of the girls have taken her place beacause of the 11-year wait and lame promotion of the album. And it is so sad for me to admit this since I would prefer remembering Cher as the strong woman who´s on the top when leaving.

Please be compassionate everyone and wait patiently while God heals her and then she will confound our senses with her incredible talent again. Bless every one of you… May you all come to know The Lord and come to know His way of doing things. God bless you Cher for your monumental inspiration ! – from The Hallelujahman.

Get a grip! First, it boggles the mind why someone would post negative comments on a fan webpage of an artist they deem irrelevant and disparate. Frankly, it’s quite telling and speaks to their lacked self respect. My time is too valuable to wither it wayside on matters I consider boorish or subjects to which I have no affinity. Cher did a private concert and you have nothing better to do than write endless posts bemoaning the appearance? Get a hobby folks. And, the comparisons to Lady Gaga and Madonna lack credulity and demonstrate how jejune and jocular individuals who spout such nonsensical dribble are. Madonna would have to have a Billboard chart hit in the 2030’s and Gaga in 2060’s to rival Cher’s milestone chart longevity. Possible? Yes. Probable? No. Lest you geniuses forget, Cher was doing outrageous long before any other diva. She’s the orginial provacateur. She doesn’t need your approval or lame remarks. She’s fucking Cher! Like it or not, she’s a pop culture phenom entrenched in the annals of history. Deal with it … or move on.
